Background: Arawak Indians inhabited the islands when Christopher Columbus first set foot in the New World on San Salvador in 1492. British settlement of the islands began in 1647; the islands became a colony in 1783. Since attaining independence from the UK in 1973, The Bahamas have prospered through tourism and international banking and investment management. Because of its geography, the country is a major transshipment point for illegal drugs, particularly shipments to the US, and its territory is used for smuggling illegal migrants into the US.

28th Annual Cruising Regatta

Central America Caribbean » Bahamas » Exuma » Georgetown

View from the Monument on Stocking Island

Adventures on the high seas, pirates, long ocean passages, and long sandy beaches. Well…. we certainly have had our share of beaches, but if you’re hoping to hear of these other exciting things, sorry but we’ve been having too much fun for that. We have spent the whole winter in the Bahamas, and most of that time in the Exumas. We might have set a record having been fortunate enough to have 6 groups of company come to visit this year. Since our last blog, my sisters (Lynne and Marianne) visited, our granddaughter Ella and her parents Dawn and Paul, and [View Full Entry]

Lee, Mom & Me in Nassau

Mom & Lee signed onto the Liberty yesterday and I love having them here. Seeing them emphasizes to me how much has happened in the time I’ve been away. It feels like a long time ago, last fall when I was home and living in Toronto. Already I feel lighted, happier, more energized than I have since my transfer. This morning we were in Nassau, Bahamas. Mom, Lee & I went on a “Harbour Cruise” and tour of the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island.. There wasn’t much to the Harbour Cruise - I think I learned more on the water taxi [View Full Entry]

Cruising Regatta in Georgetown

Central America Caribbean » Bahamas » Exuma » Georgetown

Always Room for One More
The anchorage in Georgetown, can you believe all the masts? Holy cow, this is a lot of boats.

We set sail for Georgetown, the southernmost port in the Exumas, and happened to arrive the week of the big cruising regatta. We couldn’t believe how many boats were anchored in the harbor, at least 400! But with the belief that there is always room for one more, we made our way in and set the hook. Now the cruising regatta is a week long event, with all kind of events like the coconut challenge, a pet parade, a scavenger hunt, a bake-off, golf and tennis and volleyball and bocce ball tournaments, and much, much more. Oh yeah… and 2 regattas, [View Full Entry]

Swimming Pigs
Gotta love the swimming pigs off Big Majors- so cute. We remember these two from last year, when they were just piglets. Boy do they grow up fast!

We loved our time in Cat Island but it was time to move on. The glorious weather we have enjoyed due to the high pressure ridge positioned just north of us was about to come to an end, with a big cold front predicted and thus gale force winds and big seas all the following week. So we set sail, taking advantage of the SE trade winds for once, and crossed the Exuma Sound to the Staniel Cay area. We have spent the last 3 weeks in this area, re-visiting our favorite sights and entertaining our family who came out for [View Full Entry]

Back to Exuma

Central America Caribbean » Bahamas » Exuma » Georgetown

Julie & Dan
Sunrise at Haleakala

We arrived back in Georgetown on February 15th after a smooth sail with 10-12 knot following seas from Long Island, Bahamas. The harbor in George Town seemed to grow by another 50-60 boats while we were gone. There is a big event called George Town Regatta in early March and many boats in the Bahamas attend every year. Some years as many as 400 boats are anchored in the harbor at this time. While we were in Long Island we did not have access to email, so when we got back we checked our messages and found an email from Julie [View Full Entry]

Une nouvelle espèce de langouste
Comme elle est jolie

Après avoir passé plus de 10 jours à Staniel, nous décidons de quitter vers Normand cay ou nous pourrons croiser à nouveau Victoria V. Ils ont dû descendre vers Nassau pour aller chercher la sœur de Mario avec son chum. En remontant vers le nord, on décide d’arrêter à Bell island ou il y a un aquarium de la mer. Pour la première fois depuis notre arriver au Bahamas, le paysage de notre mouillage n’est pas très beau. Nous mouillons devant un garage……Mais le paysage de l’aquarium de la mer. Wow ! Bell island est dans le parc national des Exumas [View Full Entry]
